Abstract:

A processor-based system performs automatic reboot for some initialization failures. The processor-based system runs an operating system. When initialization failures occur, the operating system may reboot the processor-based system and control the direction of a power-on routine. The power-on routine may send a page to a remote processor-based system, enter an emergency mode of operation, update system software, or perform other operations.

International Classification:

H02J 314

US Classification:

307 66, 307 64, 307 86

Abstract:

A battery backup unit can be used to supply backup power to a computer. The battery backup unit includes a charge circuit that is connected to the computers power supply unit. The charge circuit is also connected to a battery pack that includes a battery. The charge circuit converts an input high DC voltage signal supplied by the power supply unit to a charging signal. The charging signal can be used to charge the battery in the battery pack. The battery backup unit also includes a discharge circuit that is connected to the power supply unit and the battery pack. The discharge circuit converts a battery signal received from the battery pack to an output high DC voltage signal. The output high DC voltage signal can be fed into the power supply unit in order to drive the power supply unit if there is an indication that the AC power input to the power supply unit is inadequate to drive the computer. The battery backup can include a controller to control the operation of the battery back up and a comparator for determining if the input high DC voltage signal supplied by the power supply unit is below a reference voltage. The battery backup unit can be connected to the motherboard of the computer in order to communicate with the motherboard.

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

713 2, 709222, 714 48

Abstract:

A reliable and automated boot process for computer systems of limited access.

International Classification:

G06F009/00

US Classification:

715772, 715846

Abstract:

An LCD display provides language-independent icons for identifying state and/or activity information about a processor-based system. The LCD display includes a distinct portion for connoting different functional aspects of the system. Icons identifying the power-on state, disk activity, LAN activity, WAN activity, and sensor conditions are supplied.

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709218, 4554561, 4555521, 4554351

Abstract:

A method for configuring a mobile computer based on location. The method including determining a change in location of the mobile computer, scoring a current location signature for the mobile computer against previously stored location profiles having location signatures to obtain a highest scoring location profile, and determining whether the highest scoring location profile exceeds a threshold. If the highest scoring location profile exceeds the threshold, then the computer settings for the highest scoring location profile are activated on the mobile computer. If the highest scoring location profile does not exceed the threshold, a new location profile is generated and stored for the current location signature. The new location profile is then activated on the mobile computer.

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

713 2, 4554042

Abstract:

An approach for managing the privacy and disclosure of location information associated with a computer system. For one aspect, a request is received from a requestor for a location property associated with a location of a computer system. It is then determined whether a privacy preference associated with the requestor has been specified. If not, a user may be prompted to supply privacy preferences associated with the requester. The privacy preferences are then applied to determine whether or not to provide the requested information. A user setting, such as a basic input-output system memory location setting, may also be implemented to enable and/or disable location-aware computing.
